In 1998, conservative Dan Lungren lost by 20 points to Gray Davis after running an inept campaign that focused on crime, an issue of declining interest, while the media highlighted his pro-life views.

John Fund proves himself to be yet another clueless East Coast dimwit by referring to lukewarm Dan Lundgren as a "conservative". Lundgren's squishy campaign inspired the grassroots to sit that election out. He alienated the NRA voters with his approval of Democrat gun bans, he alienated the Pro-life crowd by holding a fundraiser for Christy Todd Whitman, and he bored the rest of the base to death. Yeah, a real conservative lightning rod there.

Not to go off topic, but I thought Fund got fired from WSJ?
